We are very proud of our Industrial past and our long association with the steel industry. But, today, every effort is being made to diversify our local economy. Innovative manufacturing, decarbonisation and renewable energy are now at the heart of our economic development strategy.
Locally, our manufacturing base is one of the largest in Wales with an excellent reputation for quality production and a flexible, skilled and diverse workforce.
Strong public, private sector and academic partnerships are generating investment in innovation and R&D facilities and, our Centres of Excellence in Advanced Engineering, Steel and Metal Production and Renewable Hydrogen Production and Storage are achieving worldwide recognition.
